Good to see this surface parking lot developed. This is an area that really shouldn't have it - the apartment building infront of it has a huge parkade and extra density here makes sense.

We need to fill in our central areas more and get rid of a lot of these remnant gaps. It will make it more vibrant and livable.

Colour me fascinated to see a spate of 'short' towers lately. I thought it was foretold here that anything under about 30 storeys is just uneconomical?

 

[Clearshades]

I would like to know what has changed especially now that materials have climbed astronomically world wide from before.

Is this the new proposal for the Devonshire project? They are both listed on the same lot (10135 118 St).

Do projects go to EDC before or after public hearing for rezoning?

 

[archited]

After.

Before.

^^^^ Did you say "before"; I meant "after"

Any height can work (to a point), but there are sweet spots for optimizing costs, elevator spec/use and market conditions.

20-30 is usually that spot for most markets.

Many factors are evaluated when determining what 'scale' you need in order for a specific proposal to make economic sense. Not sure where you heard you need '30-storeys' minimum to make economic sense. Oliver Exchange 2 is only 2-storeys and a little over 8000sf of space.

RE: 30+ required, that was during the boom construction period discussed on C2E where it was stated by some within the construction community where it was not feasible to go below certain floors due to the construction costs.

Fantastic. This is one of the more obvious lots in Oliver that could use a tower.
